Vesa was listening to The Bitcoin podcast and the idea thrown around was about Bitcoin being perceived dead so many times that it's like South Park's Kenny. Always keeps coming back to life. Never in our recorded history has creating currencies been in the hands of the general public and many of the early pioneers have suffered the consequences. Often by their actions but there is a lot of talk behind the scenes. As Andreas Antonopoulos says: "We are experiencing international currency wars on a large scale." Much of bitcoin's history, even if it is just the first app on a larger technology, still suffers from it being associated to the dark web, drugs and the silk road However it is important to remember all currency is now digital and most terrorist dealings and criminal activity is still being conducted through dollars, oil and other traditional forms of exchange. The balanced perspective is that bitcoin is technology and will be used how people choose to use it.
